LEO and MEF – the solution for integrated space/terrestrial networks
02 June 2025
Thomas Portois, Senior Manager, Product, Telesat
Satellite technology has traditionally been considered a last-resort option by telecom operators to reach remote populations. Challenges such as high costs for satellite bandwidth and equipment, along with compatibility issues with established telecom standards, have hindered the realization of its full potential in the telecom ecosystem.
This scenario is swiftly changing due to the introduction of Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellite networks. Interest in LEO constellations has exploded in recent years, fueled by ubiquitous, high-throughput, low-latency connectivity, coupled with disruptive pricing. These new capabilities change the space-based connectivity equation entirely and greatly increase the addressable market for enterprise connectivity. Telesat estimates that this market will reach $320B by 2032.

Modern enterprises generate and process massive amounts of data. The volume of real-time data they generate often exceeds the latency and uninterrupted connectivity requirements of traditional centralized data centers and cloud models. To optimize efficiencies and downtime, many businesses are now exploring edge computing to process large amounts of time-sensitive data more efficiently.
Large-scale edge computing places compute and storage resources close to where data is generated, such as by various devices, including the rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT). This is especially useful in enterprise applications.

Managing Massive Mission Critical Video for First Responders

Video is one of the most promising and versatile technologies for improving operational efficiency and effectiveness for first responders. Video is now widely considered as a significant capability to improve safety, coordination, collaboration, and quality decision-making, particularly during high stakes, end-user operational scenarios.
A new white paper from TCCA explores what public safety agencies and operators need to consider to successfully deploy video services supporting mission-critical operations, especially where the scale of its usage is considered ‘massive’. This term describes situations where the amount of video could potentially saturate network resources, if not appropriately managed. The overall objective is to ensure that first responders and public safety agencies (and by implication other critical communication sectors) can use video effectively and for operational benefit.
